I completely understand your point. I just didn't know if that was the going rate or they were low balling me. They just bought the property next to me for a pipeline to go thru. They paid 80k for for that and it's only a few acres. Others around me signed leases for 2500-3100 just at the end of summer early fall. They weren't interested in my property a that time because i still had time on my lease.

Brian - according to range resources 3rd quarter investor information - almost ALL of beaver county is super rich >1350 btu gas. Although we are in the Utica fairway of dry gas - there is Wet gas here. I'm on my phone or I would post the image.
The others who have replied are correct - hold out a while as things are still just getting started.
Make sure you check out the Beaver County forum on this website. The members here are awesome with sharing knowledge and information - good and bad.
My property is in Hanover Twp BC and we leased through a large group To Chesapeake. Whatever you do - don't be in a hurry. Best of luck.

Brian - on the right hand side of this web page near the top click on local groups. You can search for the Beaver County site or look through all of them (they cover 3-4 states) to find the group. You will then have to "join the group" which is very easy once you find the group.
And if you click onto my name it will take you to some info on me like a
Few of my "Go Marcellus Shale friends"
You should follow follow both Craig and Jim. Craig lives up near Chippewa but has his ear to the ground.
Jim is an area man who provides very good advice. I have no affiliation with either of them however both are very wise.
A guy on here named Jack Straw has great insight as well. His posts are must reads in your spare time.
Ill get that pic up as soon as possible for you.

Chesapeake right now is trying to extend leases 5 yrs for $200-$300/ acre which isn't going to accepted by most folks I know.

As others have said, wait unless you need money now.

You can also find the Beaver County group by clicking on States, then Pa, the Beaver County.

You should really post BC questions there, as more local folks will read it and possibly reply.

Welcome Aboard!

Thanks for the kind words Jason, however I'm just trying to collect info and then getting real information out there for folks. We all are in 'learning' mode and will be for awhile.
